Journey home.

See you in this life or the next.

I’ve got a plan for you, yup yes I do.

Hopefully you’ll be gone before bedtime.

I hope this turns out as a triumph for me, and soul.

I have this news for myself and my soul.

We’ll see how it goes tonight, with this one . This one will be a challenge.

I hope you get everything you deserve but this is for me.

Me only.

No one else.

I can’t bring anyone along on this journey. Leave everything behind.

That's my goal. Who needs it?

Take some sun dresses and sweaters.

Just go in and take in the tequila sunrise in the south.

I have to stop asking for saving, I need this on my own.

I’ll look both ways before I cross the street.

I’ll still take my medications, and see Tommy and Hannah.

I promise. But I don’t want to die lonely.

My soul and my I are taking a journey home soon.

I feel you inside my bones.

Maybe I'll see you along my journey.

Stop and say hello.

See that smile before I go.

Then continue on my journey.

See where I go from there.

Still, chasing the cotton candy lipstick smeared skies.
